Chris and I talk with “The List” about small changes that can greatly improve and inspire healthier living. Here are 5 simple steps you can do to improving your health today. Which one do you think will be your biggest challenge? Which are you already doing? Let me know in the comments below!
1. SMART GOAL – Make it, Write it, Declare it, Achieve it.
2. MOVE for 5 minutes everyday (even if it’s just marching in place on commercial breaks).
3. EAT breakfast to get your metabolism revved up for the day.
4. REDUCE sugar – you don’t have to go cold turkey simply avoid the obvious when possible.
5. HYDRATE to curb cravings and monitor hunger. Start with a goal to drink a quart of water a day, then increase to a gallon.

i use to skip breakfast but now am learning it is so important ! I DO YOGURT AND FRUIT OR CEREAL WTH FIBER, SOMETIMES PROTEIN WAFFLES! I ALSO HAVE STARTED IN PAST 2 MONTHS TO DRINK MORE VWATER EACH DAY AND IT IS A GOOD FILLER UPPER!
Reducing sugar is the tough one it’s in everything and it’s addictive!!!
Ive cut out the sugar but find eatinh 5x a day difficult to stick to. Your blogs and tips are are extremely helpful and motivating
My next goal was to eat breakfast. I had never worked breakfast into my schedule so I just never ate it. To make it fit into my schedule and to make having breakfast easier I drink a liquid breakfast. And now I’m in the habit of having something for breakfast. I do from time to time actually eat food but it took having a liquid breakfast to even get me to the point of eating breakfast.
My last goal that I worked on during July was to stop drinking soda and juices. It has been 33 days since I had a soda. I recently tasted an all natural Oogave soda (only 6 ingredients) and while it tasted good, it was too sweet for me. I’m addicted to water!
Nice! I got my parents to finally just start moving five minutes a day!
My first goal was to drink more water. When I started drinking more water I then made a second goal to walk. Setting realistic goals that I know I can keep because I’m already doing a version of it is very helpful!
Drinking water is my number one easy healthy habit
